11	This driver implements the InfiniBand RDMA transport over
12	the Linux network stack. It enables a system with a
13	standard Ethernet adapter to interoperate with a RoCE
14	adapter or with another system running the RXE driver.
15	Documentation on InfiniBand and RoCE can be downloaded at
16	www.infinibandta.org and www.openfabrics.org. (See also
17	siw which is a similar software driver for iWARP.)

19	The driver is split into two layers, one interfaces with the
20	Linux RDMA stack and implements a kernel or user space
21	verbs API. The user space verbs API requires a support
22	library named librxe which is loaded by the generic user
23	space verbs API, libibverbs. The other layer interfaces
24	with the Linux network stack at layer 3.
